lhc`l invention will be deseril'ied more fully with rerlereiice lo lh, nceonipanying drawing, in which llig. l represents a longitudinal section of the device in closed condition,

Fig. 2 being an elevation of the saine in the condition igor use.

Fig, 3 is another elevation of the device i i'itted with a reflector, which is shown in section.

lligu l shows a bundle ot ribbons made up to lit the container, and

lilo'. 5 is a 'View showing the lamp in use, the reliector end the aeh-pan or receptacle being` shown in section.

A lainp ol this type is extremely handy, and lornis a Ax'ialuable photographic accensory.

What l claim as new and desire to ,secure by Letters Patent is:

l. A magnesium lanip comprising a tubular handle, a reversible closure cap to the said handle, and a, clip litted on thesaid cap for holding a, nmgnesinin ribbon Alor ignition, the said handle being adapted to lorni 3.
